The crowd also welcome his successor, Lisa Schroeder, as the sixth president. While King was unable to attend due to illness, his leadership was praised repeatedly in remarks offered at the event. Edie Shapira told the crowd. His presidency caps a work record that covers nearly two decades of philanthropic and nonprofit leadership in the Pittsburgh region, across Pennsylvania and nationally. Shapira's full remarks. Lisa believes, as does Max, and as do I, that the community foundation must distinguish itself as a strong civic leader.
Shapira's introduction of Schroeder. In her first address as the designated Foundation president, Schroeder told the crowd how shocked she was to see how far Pittsburgh has progressed just in the past four years. In his prepared remarks, delivered by Vice President of Communications Doug Root, King said the most valuable thing that could happen in the Pittsburgh region would be that the community-building work of the Foundation go forward as effectively as possible.
Read King's prepared remarks. This has been the most meaningful work, and I thank Edie and the board for their support. She is a fine choice for the leadership role here, and I look forward to pestering the hell out of her with suggestions.
